Experience the Hypnotic Fusion: Neo-Zombie Estonian Post-Folk Duo Puuluup Takes Easthampton by Storm

Get ready, Western Massachusetts, for an unprecedented cultural experience! Easthampton is set to host Puuluup, the acclaimed Estonian neo-zombie post-folk duo, for an evening of truly unique and mesmerizing music. This isn't just a concert; it's an immersive journey into a soundscape where ancient traditions meet modern innovation, promising to captivate and challenge your perceptions of folk music.

On Friday, September 27, 2025, at 7 p.m., CitySpace at Old Town Hall will transform into a portal for Puuluup's distinctive artistry.

Comprising Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson, the duo wields the enigmatic talharpa – a bowed lyre dating back to the Viking Age – and masterfully intertwines its haunting melodies with electronic loops, samples, and unexpected sonic textures. The result? A hypnotic, "neo-zombie" sound that evokes a dance-macabre while simultaneously feeling utterly contemporary.

Puuluup's performance is more than just music; it's a theatrical spectacle.

Their stage presence is known for its quiet intensity, often punctuated by a quirky humor that adds another layer to their already multifaceted sound. They don't just play instruments; they conjure entire worlds with their sound, inviting audiences to drift through mystical Estonian landscapes infused with a modern, slightly eerie, yet profoundly beautiful sensibility.

Imagine traditional folk tunes reinterpreted through a digital lens, creating something both familiar and entirely new.

The duo has garnered international acclaim, performing at prestigious festivals like WOMEX and famously representing Estonia at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest alongside the group 5MIINUST.

Their ability to blend the solemnity of ancestral instruments with the playful possibilities of contemporary electronics has earned them a dedicated global following. Each song tells a story, often inspired by their travels, ancient runo songs, or the mundane details of everyday life, all filtered through their distinct artistic vision.

This Easthampton stop is a rare opportunity to witness Puuluup's magic firsthand.

Whether you're a seasoned world music enthusiast or simply curious about discovering something truly different, their performance promises to be an unforgettable event. Tickets are priced at $25 for general admission in advance and $30 at the door, if available. Don't miss your chance to be part of this extraordinary evening.
